Digital Information Gateway (DIG) Overview The Digital Information Gateway (DIG) is the primary tool used for searching and sharing PCHIDTA data. DIG provides Google-style searches for databases. It federates a single search to many different databases allowing users to search tens-of-millions of up-to-date records in seconds. DIG can securely control which users have access to data. Multiple DIG servers can be connected together to form a secure information sharing network. Many DIG information sharing networks currently exist within U.S. and international law enforcement agencies. Visual Analytics Inc.
